ABOUT PROGRAMMING OLYMPIAD

The Programming Olympiad is a challenge for learners who can use a programming language like Scratch, Python, Java, C++ or Delphi. In the First Round, the participants have to solve a number of problems using the language of their choice. For the Second Round and also for the Final Round the languages are more restricted. Selected participants are entered into the International Olympiad in Informatics. The questions are available in Afrikaans and English. There is only one paper for all age groups. The competition is most beneficial if an entire class takes part, but individual participation is also encouraged.
